BSW graduates come to graduate school with an exceptional professional foundation. Their undergraduate training exposes them to the profession's history, mission and commitment, and their field work introduces them to the populations and mental health issues to which social work is dedicated. These are invaluable experiences for the master's student and the Smith College School for Social Work values this important preparation. For this reason, Smith has developed a unique advanced training opportunity for BSW graduates which builds on their skills and provides them with one of the richest and most advanced clinical social work training opportunities found in graduate education.
The Smith BSW Advanced Standing program (AS) is designed for students who have completed their BSW from a program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The BSW AS program allows students to complete their MSW in 18 months (June through the following December) rather than the full 27-month program for non-BSW graduates. The AS program includes two on-campus academic summer sessions (10 weeks each) and one ongoing 15-month internship. This unique design complements the skills gained in a BSW program, while at the same time providing opportunities for a rich clinical internship experience.
